The World Already Ended



You claimed

that your mother

was a gypsy


while you were young.

You told me stories

from your adventures

with her and offered up

the fears instilled

within you by

your father.


You let me know

more about you

than anyone else

ever would.


Then you left

without any

sort of warning.


At least I know

where you got

that from.

I love those

gypsy ties

of yours.


And it's comforting

to think that you

won't be back,

prepared to deepen

these elaborate cuts

decorating my soul.
